They got me -- for a day or so
That is, those Mercedes people.
I'm taking an afternoon break from work because, well, it's work and I was stressed and I wanted a gingerbread latte and some mixed nuts. So there I am, in the parking lot of Starbuck's basquing as some snake on a warm rock...
... fresh new interior... (a bit on the dirty side from the mechanic's fingerprints but I can ignore that)
... fresh music from sat ... (The Beat, specifically)
and some fabulous Lancome products I purchased the day before. So, yeah, a little make-up doll work for fun. Then something catches my eye.. So closer I peer, next to the key ignition.
GASP.
A scratch, but not just any scratch, a repaired scratch.
Those mother f*kers didn't think I'd notice that they scratched another part of my car by "touching it up" with some off-white paint. Little do they realize, I'm obviously color neurotic. So, instead of my "Safari tan" interior, I see eggshell.
THEY TRIED TO COVER IT UP
Now I'm just offended. I mean, before, I was looking for the black scratch. That is, the underlying black plastic being exposed. Instead, I'm presented with this off-off-white color "touch up". Oops. Moreover, I don't even think they put the piece together right because on closer inspection, it doesn't line up smoothly with the rest of the pieces.
As such, I'll be visiting the Dealership tomorrow.
Again.
And to think, they pulled the wool over my eyes for, say, a day or so. B!tches.

OMG, how sensitive are these panels in your car? Was that "their" upholstery guy at work?
I had to remove several panels to get my two-way radio installed. Wasn't too difficult to not damage them and keep them clean. Of course, that was in a VW, not a Mercedes.
